The real King Macbeth
(1005 to 1057) ruled Scotland for 17 years, from 1040 until his death at the
Battle
of Lumphanan.
He is thought to have been a good king, and unlike the character created by
William
Shakespeare in "
The Scottish Play."
Lumphanan has a rich history, whose telling will be enhanced by a new
augmented
reality (AR) guide around the village and its surrounds.
See a flyer for the augmented reality project
here.
